Orb Run

In Orb Run, you play Rotox, a little robot who needs to move around a grid avoiding the holes into the void, whilst leaving behind a trail of orb seeds. Two holes will appear horizontally and vertically either side of the orb seed and walking into a hole will end the game. Going back to an orb seed, however, will generate four power orbs and fill in the void holes. Collecting power orbs will increase your score but if you get stuck, you must spend four of those points to remove the surrounding void. The game is designed to be unwinnable and to challenge yourself at a high score.

The author cites the inspiration for this game to be the 1982 magazine type-in game Magic Dollar Seeds for the Sinclair ZX81 and it was submitted to the 2018 ToeJam competition.
